…

It couldn’t be him that I saw.

I hope I had recognized the wrong person…

The height, the style, the build, the hair, the skin colour… Were so similar.

He was wearing a Singapore Run shirt.
It reminded me of an Adidas Run he took part in… Where he put up a note which only both of us understood.

He was at a bus top, we had a brief eye contact as I walked towards it.

Brief because I immediately turned around, walked away and took a cab instead.

I felt stupid for a while.

If he was the one, he could have recognized me as I had my cello with me, the same one he used to carry for me.

But it really doesn’t matter now.

Been blasting Bach into my ears for the past 2 days, hoping he will get into my mind, heart and soul.

So wanna play well for Bach piano concerto during our concert, partly because Sofi is the pianist. She’s my inspiration and encourager.

It’s her dream come true and I wanna play my part well for her and for me and the entire strings.

She’s been working hard and has memorized the 3 movements even though she doesn’t need to.

Happy that I managed to sit my butt down to practise last night and this afternoon and happy with my progress.

Hopefully I can still improve further towards the concert day.

Talking about that, the orchestra and choir will be combining again, performing a piece by a local composer titled “Child of Destiny” later at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for our church’s 20th anniversary.

My cello is now @ SIS, cos the owner is too lazy to carry it home after rehearsal earlier. Hope it’s safe…

I’m feeling very neutral about the performance later… Though it’s my first time playing there and in front of so many people… It still seems quite far away. And I’m too sleepy to be excited or anything.

Boo.
